Despite admitting this overwhelming evidence, many "Occupy Central"
supporters still insist the protests are genuine and now some propose
that the "Occupy Central" leadership does not truly represent the people
of Hong Kong. While the leadership of "Occupy Central" indeed in no way
represent the people of Hong Kong, the fact still remains that the
protest itself was prearranged at least as early as April 2014, revealed
by "Occupy Central" co-organizers Martin Lee and Anson Chan before NED
in Washington DC.

The talk titled, "Why Democracy in Hong Kong Matters,"
spanned an hour, with NED regional vice president Louisa Greve leading
the duo through a full introduction of the "Occupy Central" movement,
its characters, agenda, demands, and talking points. Anson Chan - Hong
Kong’s Chief Secretary under British rule - in particular, with her
perfect British accent, insisted repeatedly that the issue was China's
apparent backtracking on "deals" made with the UK over the handover of
Hong Kong in the late 1990's.
